Im wondering if it would be easier for me to import an R33 Skyline GTS-T to America from Australia (queensland) instead of Japan. I am guessing that ya'll have the same emission laws as we do (or a little closer).  What do ya'll think?

If you haven't done so already, better read up on what's involved in getting a Skyline into the US legally - thanks to your laws it isn't at all easy (and at the moment may be impossible). Have a look at the following forums for more info:

Yes i am moving to Australia anyway, but it wont be until Feb 2007. In my hast, i want to bring one state side for a track/race only car. I dont want to have it for the street. Just personal use in autocross and drift events. That way i can gut it and have a sick ass race car. Does anyone know what a R33 GT-R costs in Japan? And is there a switch i could buy for the GT-R to "turn off" the front diff for drifting?

In answer to your questions, R33 GT-R's start from about 20k AUD, and go up from there depending on condition, year, etc.

You can buy controllers which trick the attessa computer into providing full time awd, full time rwd, or a set split between the two

    • Cleaner signal so timing is more accurate at all rpm also found it to start more on first rotation but could also be I've nailed prime and crank fuel. For under $400 and 30mins of your time, its a good solution especially once the optical sensor does start to play up you won't notice it until in higher rpm and it heat soaks.
    • On a 400hp RB, what benefits other than "it's not 30+ years old" are you seeing from the NZ Wiring Kit trigger setup? If it were me going to change triggering, my belief would be to go for a crank trigger to remove the issues caused by what people claim is belt stretch etc, but that's from my understanding a much larger issue for super high power, rather than those in the 400hp and below club.
    • The NZ wiring kit is a 1/3 the price and will be perfectly fine for your application, I've ran one for 6+ years and many others have. Comes as a full plug into factory connector and the settings for a Link. https://www.nzwiring.com/index.php/product/trigger-kit/ Always comes back to the tuners knowledge and experience with a tuning platform. It takes years to become proficient and learning all aspects and capabilities. I've been using Links for 16 years now (rb and sr paltforms) and always learning something new with adding tables, diagnostics and data logging. Stay 98 for the usability and keep it simple so you can enjoy the car more. With experience I'll give you a current example of the industry I am in. They use Motec m190 and only use VE tuning when they have a torque mapping available and would solve the "PARITY" issues that plagues the category all because the muppet doing the tuning doesn't understand the platform or want to learn it and the product seller have no idea on its full capabilities ( I had a good laugh as when firing up an older car that just got completed and they didn't understand the injector scaling or how to change it for different fuel being used)  
    • I'm sure there are specific hygrometers for it. But if you can just throw a high enough ranged temp sensor (theromcouple that came with your DMM, for example) into a pot of it on the BBQ, you can see when it boils.
    • I have multiple bottles in a shed that gets hot, and I'm in SEQ, so it's humid. Maybe we test their theory... Anyone have a system to accurately measure moisture content in oil?
